How else can we engage with and interpret medical images? This project aims to answer this question by investigating patient perspectives of medical images. The ultimate goal of the project is to create an artist book composed of text, image, and drawing. Through the synthesis of patient and physician interviews, image collection, clinical observation, artistic work and reflection, my project aims to bridge the gap between the visual evidence in medical images and the emotional journeys of patients. Semi-structured interviews with both patients and radiologists in nuclear medicine inform the text in the book. Following the interviews, I use my skills as a visual artist to create booklets that serve as both educational, emotional, and exploratory resources for patients, physicians, artists, and the public.</mods:abstract><mods:name><mods:namePart>Forsman, Tia</mods:namePart><mods:role><mods:roleTerm authority="marcrelator" authorityURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators" valueURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut">Author</mods:roleTerm></mods:role></mods:name><mods:name type="corporate"><mods:namePart>Brown University.
